Amazon HQ could be coming to Halton

Amazon is looking for a new home for their headquarters in North America. They announced on September 7 they’re looking to invest over $5 billion in construction and operations for the Amazon HQ2 facility, this is said to create 50,000 new jobs.

But they do favour areas with more than 1 million people, a stable and business-friendly environment, urban or suburban locations with the potential to attract and retain strong technical talent, and communities that think big and creatively.

It still remains to be seen whether Halton would want to make a proposal but cities like Oakville, Burlington and Milton are growing cities and they could be able to support a new facility.
